I was stationed at Camp Pieri from 1982-1986 and met all kinds of neat people. When I was up for re-enlistment I choose to go into a different direction than the now obsolete Lance or the MLRS venture. I went into the NBC field where I met my current husband of 21 years. But I never forgot the begining of my Army career at Camp Pieri, Germany.

I don't know if you remember me. I was your section chief in A battery 2nd Fire. I was then SSG Gove and I am now SFC (Ret) Gove. I retired in Feb 2000 and now work as a City Mail Carrier for the U.S. Postal Service in southern Louisiana. How has life been treating you? I am about to take the marital plunge for the 3rd and last time (whether it works or not) . Let me know how you are. Hope to hear from you.....Ken

Hi all,
I was part of the conversion package sent to Europe in 1973 to convert the Sergeant and Honest John units to Lance, after training at Ft. Sill and WSMR from late 72 to Spring 73. We had a team of 23 officers and NCOs that came to Europe in April of 73. We converted the 5/77 at Camp Pieri from Sergeant to Lance and the unit was redesignated as the 1/333 during the summer of 73. We got the unit certified in Sept 73. After that, we assisted with the conversion of the other 5 units in FRG. 2/42 at Giessen was the second unit converted, then the 3/79. I have forgotten the order the remaining units were converted (it's only been >30 years!).

I looked on Google Maps recently and Camp Pieri is now a subdivision (here are the coordinates in case you have forgotten: 50 deg, 03' 54.87" N and 8 deg 11' 11.13" E).
